Another gorgeous day! I'm sitting with an ice pack wrapped around my foot and another one on my lower back; shopping at Costco on a Saturday can be hazardous to your health, lol. Pushing a heavy cart through crowds of people shopping and gathering around the sample tables is hard work!
I started by a trip to the Lake Oswego Farmer's Market, which was totally mobbed. The new advertising campaign is really working! I ended up just getting some pecan butter and some cashew butter, then going to New Seasons for produce. I also found some yummy freeze-dried edamame snacks, mmmm!
I saw my neurologist on Monday; things went very well. My MS is stable and he gave me some heartfelt compliments on how I've improved my health and wellness. He also gave me some heartfelt advice on not exercising too much.
He said that my tight muscles and nerve pain weren't from MS, they're from my having done so much aerobic exercise and increased weight training that my joints hove been ground & pounded together too much. Compounded by the trauma to my foot that hasn't had a chance to heal. He told me to be the tortoise, not the hare.
To paraphrase; he said that this body I've fine tuned has parts that get worn down if I keep it revved up to high, push it too far, too hard. That I can keep it running well for decades (that he wants me to) and enjoy all that it can do. Oh, and to be proud of what I've accomplished, to be happy with how I look. I left his office with a glow and a determination to get myself in tiptop working order, and take the time for getting some detailing done (meditation,haircut, pedicure, facial, and teeth whitening).
I'll tell you about my trip to my new podiatrist another time.

Wow, I just had to compliment you on your success! I hope I will be able to follow in your footsteps one day, you seem so determined...
Well, I couldn't help but look at the food you're eating and saw a whole bunch of stuff I'd love to know how to make like the whole wheat flax bread and especially the banana balls (they sound really yummy). So, if you don't mind, can you share some of your wonderful recipes with me or let me know where I can find them? Thank you ;-)

I hope you listen to that doctor. It is wonderful that your MS is in check and the fact that you have lost weight and now eat such healthy food but you have changed addictions and become addicted to exercise :) I wish I could understand that lol. I hope you can rest your sore bits and give them time to heal. I had to smile (with you) and picturing you sitting with ice packs on your sore bits. It must be hard for you to sit still long enough to ice those bits. Hopefully you will listen to the doc and exercise less nor at least not so hard. The nut butters sound yummy. I presume you put them on the home made bread you make - oh sounds soooo good.

Oh, balls! Banana balls, that is, lol. Easy recipe!
1/2 medium banana
1 Tbsp. nut butter, natural (peanut, almond, sunflower, pistachio; your choice)
Dash of cinnamon
1 Tbsp. chopped apricots (or raisins)
3/4 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 Tbsp. honey or agave
~1 1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut
Mash banana and nut butter, cinnamon. Mix in apricots, oats, and honey.
Shape into 8 balls, roll in coconut (or cocoa powder). Refrigerate 30 minutes.
You can input the recipe into your cookbook and be able to record accurately the nutritional info in your food diary.
I found out that if you flatten them a bit, but in a plastic freezer bag & freeze, they make a nice cool treat
You can also double the recipe and use the food processor, mixing up the gooey ingredients first, then pulsing in the oats & apricots.
Variations: I've used curry powder & spicy peanut butter & made some savory banana balls.
Chocolate, add 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, replace the apricots with 1 Tbsp. mini chocolate chips. This increases the calories a little, but when you need a chocolate fix....
Best of luck, SoLosingIt. I'll figure out how to send you the recipe for my whole wheat flax bread. I use a bread machine, so I try lots of different whole grain breads, but the whole wheat flax is my favorite.
Isabel, I mix a tablespoon of a nut butter with 2 Tablespoons (or 1/4 cup if I want more) nonfat greek yogurt & make a luscious creamy spread for my home made bread, toasted. I had two slices with a cup of coffee for breakfast (I wanted an indulgent weekend breakfast) and it kept me going for a long time.
I made Turkey Enchilada Casserole for dinner with steamed broccoli. I cut jicama into sticks & made a dip out of 1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt & 1/2 Tbsp. of some local pinapple jalapeno jam; heavenly!
I guess I inherited the addiction thing; a brother died from complications of alcoholism, my mom's was eating. I drank & ate too much when I was young, quit in 1986. Replaced it with mountain climbing, aerobics, walking, etc. Tore up my knee skiing, replaced the active stuff with food. Lots of it.
I love to cook and bake; now I can be addicted to finding healthy recipes, making good food with great ingredients I enjoy shopping for.
My exercise classes are also a great social thing for me, so that's one more thing that hurts when I'm injured & can't go. So, here I am with my buddies that I should visit more often.
I can also do my stretches, massage the parts of my foot that need it, roll my foot over a frozen bottle of water. I love to read, so I can spend hours doing that. I'm trying not to get addicted to Facebook, lol.
Breakfast tomorrow; toast with pecan butter mixed in greek yogurt with coffee to fuel me for a Zumba class. I'll take it easy, wear my more supportive dance tennis shoes, & do all my stretches & ice my foot after. I'll be a good girl, :o)

Sounds like you have an awesome doc. What a pain to have to slow down, yet I can so relate! You have a great spirit and you have come so far! That freeze-dried edamame sounds delish! Take it ez, hope that foot starts treating you better asap!
